FURNACE AND POT STAND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Batent No. 249,955, dated November 22, 1881. Application filed July 13, 1881. (Model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MATHIAS A. LASKA, of New Orleans, in the parish ofOrleans and State of Louisiana, have invented a new and Improved Furnace and Pet Stand, of which the tion.

The object of my invention is to provide a for receiving furnaces of 'various sizes and one or more pots.

The invention consists in a metal frame provided with legs and with two sliding grateframes, on which the pots are placed on top, below which grates the furnace is placed on a ring resting on two crossed bars in the lower part of the stand, this ring having a series of notches of various sizes, so that the ring can be adjusted higher or lower, according to the height of the furnace.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a plan view of my improved furnace and pot stand. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional elevation of the same on line a- :r, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.

The metal frame A is provided with legs B, which raise it above the floor sufficiently to prevent the fire in a furnace contained in the frame from burning the floor. The furnace is placed on a ring, 0, placed edgewise on two crossed bars, D, in the lower part of the frame. This ring is provided in its lower edge with av number ofnotches, E E E arranged in series of four, each series having a different depth, so that when the crossed bars D are in the notches E the distance from the top of the frame to the ring (J will be greatest; will be less when the bars D are in the notches E and will be the smallest when the bars D are in the notches E, so that this ring can be adjusted according to the height of the furnace, that the upper edge of the same will not project above the upper edge of the frame A.

Two grated frames, F F, which are bent upward at the outer ends, rest and slide on the upper edge of the frame, these frames F being provided with end clips, Gr, overlapping the upper and lower surfaces of the top bar, H, of the frame A. The furnace having been placed on the ring 0, which has been suitably adjusted, the frames F are pushed toward each other, so as to be over the furnace, and one or more pots are placed on the frames F. When the furnace is to be removed the sliding grate-frames F are drawn apart, as shown in Fig. 1.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a furnace and pot stand, the combination, with the frame A, of the sliding grate- -frames F, provided with clips overlapping the bars I] of the frame A, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth;

2. In a furnace and pot stand, the combination, with the frame A, provided with the crossed bottom bars, D D, of the adjustable ring C, resting thereon and provided with a series of recesses or notches, E E E in the lower edge, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose setforth.
